Not a fan by an volation. I just wanted a good clean football game, and was robbed. Definatley bad calls on both ends (Seaducks and Stealers). I feel that the biggest inmpact was on the higlighted calls and uncalls vs. the seaducks.

My anger was not towards anyteam (save for the stealers <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> eating grins - which was just more of an inuslt upon injury thing) just the general interference of the MVP refs.

Worst call of the game, on Hasselbecks interception he runs to tackle the guy and he is called for an illegal clipping or something GOING FOR THE TACKLE! Pitt gets the football 15 yards father than when the play ended. I have played and watched football for 13 years and have never seen a call like that. Also on 3rd and 6 the play clock clearly winds down to 0, Big Ben signals the timeout about 2 seconds after the fact, and the official gives it to him, Madden tries to justify the refs and says that its hard for the ref because he has to look at the ball and the clock before he can give the signal, it was a halfassed attempt though. Instead of it being 3rd and 11 it was 3rd and 6, and Steelers convert drive down the field and score their last touchdown.

It was funny how Woody Page and Skip Bayless were killing the refs on 1st and 10 today. I went to an open gym today and everyone was in agreement that the Seahawks got screwed, note that these are non-biased kids from Michigan, who just wanted to see a good game.
